GaiaTweaks
by Henrykado
GaiaTweaks is a Forge tweak pack for Minecraft 1.7.10 that fixes bugs in vanilla and in other 1.7.10 mods, and adjusts a number of game mechanics through config options.
What it does
Most of the mod consists of small changes to existing behavior. Players can have a sword parry an incoming projectile when they block just before it hits, skeletons visually draw their arrows before shooting, and tempting an animal with its favorite food lasts less time once the player stops holding that food. Server owners can tune endermen spawn weight and frequency, limit witches to spawning in swamp biomes, and change how many blocks count as travel in the Nether against the Overworld.
Food items can be set to give configurable buffs, with a few food items covered by default. Item frames can be rotated in 45 degree steps, a behavior backported from later versions of the game, and the mod works alongside Botania's corporea blocks. Most options are server-side settings; the mod needs UniMixins to run, and GaiaTweaks is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later. Files exist only for 1.7.10, with the latest Forge build, 1.0.5.2, published on 2026-09-26.
Key features
Sword parrying
Blocking with a sword just before a projectile arrives deflects the hit, so timing the block becomes part of combat.
Configurable mob spawns
Endermen spawn weight and frequency, and the biome where witches spawn, can be changed in the config.
Food buffs
Eaten food items can grant buffs that the server sets, with a few food items given buffs by default.
Quality-of-life fixes
Bug fixes for vanilla and for other 1.7.10 mods, plus small changes such as faster tempting and visible arrow drawing for skeletons.
Nether travel distance
The ratio of blocks traveled in the Nether to the Overworld can be adjusted, changing the distance a portal trip covers.
Item frame rotation
Item frames can rotate their contents in 45 degree increments, which is a behavior added in later versions of the game.
